Louise Bourgeois: I Have Been to Hell and Back

- Fine
- Paperback
Stockholm: Hatje Cantz, 2015. Book. Fine. Soft cover. The volume is grouped into themes that characterize her oeuvre, including memory, trauma, relationships, sexuality, fear and the difficulties of being an artist and mother at the same time. Personal photographs further document the artist's childhood and family life, with several letters and documents being made available for the first time. -------------- Born in Paris, where she studied with Fernand Léger, Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) moved to New York in 1938, where her first solo exhibition was held at the Bertha Schaefer Gallery in 1945. She quickly developed a sculptural vocabulary that drew inventively and equally on Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism and psychoanalysis. Bourgeois had her first retrospective in 1982, at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. She died in May 2010. ------------------ No Flaws or Blemishes but the book plate of art collector Robert Allen Lewis, hidden under the flap of the cover. Throughout his life he was an active collector of art focused on contemporary and outsider works. Still Gift Quality. Text is in English..

This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, spine, edges and corner of the cover. There is some dog-earring on the right corner pages of the book. The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
